DON"T
Sniping in airsoft is not like in video games or in movies, it can be very boring to wait for someone to come into your kill area. Secondly unless your pour hundreds of dollars into a sniper platform they have the exact same range as any other gun, but without being able to match the rate of fire. You will be out gunned very quicky. Please heed this advice, wait a few more years to buy a gun. Get a good quality aeg as your first one, then after, once you are set for gear get a sniper platform if you are still interested. Most new players who go sniper first end up selling their gun at a loss and buying a aeg. Also until other players feel secure with you playing as a sniper as they shoot at a higher fps than aegs are allowed you will not be allowed to game it. Shooting with a hot gun a close range will/can result in injury.
